The lovely Tyne spotted the flowers on my @suecatt

The lovely Tyne spotted the flowers on my @suecattcreative one-off top today made from upcycling a vintage linen tablecloth. As a Maori she was delighted to see flowers from home. Sue makes utterly gorgeous clothes that feel fabulous to wear (plus they are unique).

Thanks to Kerry from Alice Springs for bringing her in to @songlines_arts and being a supporter of @flyingfoxfabrics and so sorry I forgot to get a photo of you!!! Next time 😘

Our display is a bit messy as we were rehanging this morning 🙄 oh well

It was great to catch up with James after a couple of years when he came in. It was especially nice to see he was rocking his Chris messenger bag from @flyingfoxfabrics . He’d received it as a 40th birthday present to replace the one he’d previously had.

Their size, practicality, multiple pockets and sheer wearability win them many fans. This one is Walabi (Fish Nets) design, a ladies’ collaborative print from Injalak Arts.

We stock Chris bags in a wide range of handprinted fabrics designed by Aboriginal artists from the Northern Territory. Also lots of different colours. The fabric is printed in Australia then sent to Kravan House in Cambodia - a Fair Trade social enterprise that trains and employs disabled artisans and pays them a #rightlivelihood

It's a cold and wet day in Melboune today so my me made item for day 3 of #memademay2021 is my recently finished #tamarackjacket worn over some trackies and a sweatshirt. And even though it's dark and overcast, I'll also be wearing my suncreen.

Today is also #melanomamonday (a day for raising awareness about melanoma) so I thought I'd share an update about my cancer. A little over two years ago I was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma. The original skin cancer was ironically on a part of my body that doesn't see the sun (🍑), but was caught late and had already spread to the lymph nodes. Despite doing a year-long clinical trial with targeted therapy in 2019-2020 and a few rounds of immunotherapy earlier this year, my cancer keeps growing. Last week I had my third surgery to remove tumours from my lymphatic system (my last one was a pelvic lymph node dissection). Unfortunately my surgeons found that the cancer had become fibrotic and deeply involved with the main artery, vein and nerve leading into my leg and they were not able to safely remove it all. I'm currently awaiting pathology results to detetermine the next steps, but it will likely be radiation or more drugs once I've recovered from this surgery.

I know that I'm very lucky to be receiving top-notch medical treatment at the Peter Mac, and have a fabulous supportive network of family and friends, but this past two years have been quite tough for me and my family. Cancer really does suck and this one is preventable.

So please, whatever fabulous outfit you are wearing today (handmade or otherwise), please wear some suncreen too. x

Just wow!! What a great way of showcasing Kieren’s Yerrgi print 😍

😍 Look at these trousers!!! Mary was visiting @songlines_australia and kindly agreed to me taking a photo of her fabulous early Merrepen Arts #handprintedfabric pants. The white to turquoise ombré single print is a fantastic effect. The fabric might be 20 years old and yet looks superb.

We love stocking contemporary @merrepenartscentredalyriver fabric designs.

Yes! Ikuntji Artists have very limited space so t-shirt printing is a great option. Check out their website for t-shirts and other goodies. Meanwhile we have #handprintedfabric in this design in yardage available on our website and in our Etsy shop.

Alison brought her friend Christine in to visit us

Alison brought her friend Christine in to visit us @songlines_australia 🙏 They both found Delia bags in #handprintedfabric designed by Keturah Zimran of Haasts Bluff in Central Australia.

The bags were made by @flyingfoxfabrics in collaboration with @ikuntjiartists - the makers are @womenforwomencambodia - a #fairtrade #socialenterprise that trains and employs disabled women.

It’s fantastic seeing women supporting women through ethical purchasing. #jobsnotcharity

One of our favourites came in to @songlines_austra

One of our favourites came in to @songlines_australia (our new Darwin outlet) today, the delightful Ayu @ni_ayu_suriati . She’s been a quiet champion of @ntaustralia #handprintedfabric for a few years through her Ayu’s Creations weekly market stalls at @parapvillage and Nightcliff in Darwin. It’s a mutual admiration society 😂😂 as she also loves our #fairtrade bags . Here she has a new little Miriam bag (second photo) in Little Trees fabric designed by Kumunara Dixon of @ikuntjiartists plus she found some super gorgeous @bulabulaarts fabric by the recently late Roy Burnyila printed by @pubtextiles 🥲 At least the artists’ families will continue to receive support through the royalty payments on fabric sales. Ayu came in wearing a Chris bag in the same Warrnyu (Flying Fox) design.
